Is there a balance of good and evil in the world at the moment?

Question

Many philosophers belive that the world cannot be rid of evil, instead there must be an equal balance between good and evil. Take a look around you, is there a balance at the moment or is one winning over the other?

Answer 1

i do not think that there is a balance of good and evil in the world.....why then would there b wars if the people who r doing evil can't do  good for the world they r living in?

Answer 2

evil is overflowing each day, increasing more and more. when evil reaches it point of climax, the time comes for good to undo what evil has done. This happened many times in history. everything done by man was destroyed. most men r not able 2 live with nature, they did not respect nature and its creatures, like what r they doing now. As when seeds r reborn after a great storm. But many people r not aware of the procedure so they keep on doing evil, killing each other, themselves and everything around them.

Answer 3

This question can never be answered because you will get responses that are filtered by the individual.  There is no unbias opinions.

Answer 4

There is definitely no balance.  Evil has always, and probably will always, have the upper hand. It all starts with the haves and the have nots.  The haves don't want to share and the have nots don't have a chance to get what they need to survive. That holds true for individuals as well as nations. North Korea is testing nuclear weapons just to keep up with the United States. China initiated a space program because they saw the technological and military advantages it gave the US and the Soviets. Drugs are rampant not only among the very poor who have no hope, but the wealthy elite who have no fear of being caught.

Good always loses because good cannot fight back.  If it did, it would become the evil it's trying to tame.  If the 60's taught us anything, they showed us that the only way good can prevail is when people stop being selfish and start loving their fellow man more than themselves. Bill Gates has enough money to give every man, woman and child in the United States about $180,000.  He may miss it for a few weeks, but he'll get it back sooner than he thinks. That would go a long way towards shedding some light on this otherwise dark world.

Answer 5

there can never be an even balance it is impossible.

however i do blieve there is more good in the world then bad.

Answer 6

The universe is in balance, the enviroment is in balance(Use to) we are in balance. Every person alive is born with good and evil. When we become teens or adults we chose who do we want to become.

Answer 7

Its about each indeviduals ability to choose to do good or to do evil,Therin lies the ballance,or ballancing,rather like the scales, constantly in movement. Bad things happen if good men and women do nothing is also true,so we need to be constantly alert.Good will always prevail in the long term.

Answer 8

Terrorism and crime are the world's evils.  Policing and Governments are (i guess), the world's form of good.

Since we can still live out our everyday lives without too much danger, worrry or fear, i guess the good in the world is doing a good job at this time... until evil grows stronger, which it may or may not.

Answer 9

Yes, Nature balances Good and Evil.!!

Answer 10

Well, that makes the assertion that there are in fact those born 'evil' and those born 'good', which is a baseless and unprovable suggestion.

So my answer to you is, this is a poor question.

Answer 11

nope- evil's winning
